Cheap - very conservative and makes it difficult to invest in important ideas Micromanagement from most Senior Levels Promotions are often given to favorites or to those they want to make "examples" of Tends to not plan well in advance

Pros

Global company Great benefits (unless you hold a pseudo "temporary" position) Professional growth opportunities (unless you hold a pseudo "temporary" position)

Cons

No record of temporary positions and why they exist Upper management is not questioned as of why assistant / administrative positions are "temporary", yet have "indefinite" contracts (So the high rotation of the people occupying that position is not measured) No work / life balance
